McConaughey: Off the Market

Tag

He was once one of Hollywood’s most sought after bachelors, but now Matthew McConaughey wants it known that he’s very much off the market. The Texas native, long known for his free-spirited approach to life, says that while he and model Camilla Alves have not exchanged vows, his partner of five years is most definitely The One.

While telling Esquire about the Malibu home he built from the ground up, he explains, “Before this, I had a super home in the Hollywood Hills that I did by myself — landscaping, detailing pretty much everything. But that house was mine. And yeah, we coulda gone in thereright away. Camila would have said, Fine, don't change a thing. But I thought, I found the woman I wanna do it with, the woman I wanna make a family with, hopefully live our life out together. She needs to have 50 percent of that. I mean, it's a lot easier for me to be at 100percent. I'd always been 100 percent. It's braver for me at 50 percent.”

So far, so good. The photogenic twosome are the parents of son Levi, two, and daughter Vida, one. And while McConaughey has embraced domestic bliss with full gusto, he admits that fans still struggle to accept him as a family man.

“Do you think the image of me is a true picture of who I am? No, it's incomplete,” he says. “But things about me that are out there – I'm not going to say they're false.”

He adds, “Am I a fun-loving guy, man? Who likes running around in the summer with his shirt off, man? Am I a guy who likes to hang out with his friends, and party and go to concerts and football games with his friends? Well, yeah! Yes, I am. Always have been. Always hopefullywill be. You know?”
